An abandoned two-storey residence in Fall River burned down late Wednesday afternoon.
Halifax Fire district fire chief Kevin Dean says the house fire was “fully involved” when crews arrived to on George Jackson Road just before 6 p.m.
Crews went into defensive mode and fought the fire from the outside. “It was not save to put anybody inside, it was an abandoned home,” Dean said.
As of 7 p.m., the fire was out, Dean says. There were no injuries, but the house is destroyed.
“It’s a complete write-off, the home,” Dean says.

An investigator is still on scene, and Dean says it’s too early to tell what the cause of the fire was.
